CAA Micro Roni Pistol Brace- Review

Published on April 24, 2018
Duration: 24:17

This review of the CAA Micro Roni pistol brace chassis system, designed for Glock 19 size pistols, highlights its convenience for creating a PDW-style platform. The chassis offers a stable platform for close-range engagements (50 yards and in) and is compact for storage. However, it introduces limitations in long-range accuracy due to frame flex and has a 'hokey' trigger safety. The reviewer notes it's easier to use left-handed and emphasizes its niche application as a compact, easier-to-shoot pistol variant rather than a full-fledged carbine.

Quick Summary

The CAA Micro Roni is a chassis system that converts Glock pistols into a compact PDW-style platform, enhancing stability for close-range shooting. While it offers portability and ease of use, its primary limitations include significant frame flex impacting accuracy beyond 50 yards and a less-than-reliable trigger safety. It's best suited for its intended niche role rather than extended range applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAA Micro Roni and what is its primary purpose?

The CAA Micro Roni is a chassis system designed to convert Glock pistols into a PDW-style platform. Its primary purpose is to offer a more stable and easier-to-shoot platform than a standard pistol, particularly for close-range engagements, while remaining compact for portability.

What are the main limitations of the CAA Micro Roni chassis?

The main limitations include significant frame flex that degrades accuracy beyond 50 yards, a unreliable trigger safety, and a non-functional QD sling swivel. It's also noted to be easier to operate left-handed than right-handed.

Can the CAA Micro Roni be used for long-range shooting?

No, the CAA Micro Roni is not designed for long-range shooting. The flex between the pistol frame and the chassis significantly impacts zero beyond 50 yards, making it unsuitable for precision shooting at extended distances.

What is the recommended optic mounting for the CAA Micro Roni?

For the CAA Micro Roni, it is recommended to use a lower one-third or absolute co-witness AR mount for any optic. This helps to provide a better sight picture and makes it easier to acquire targets quickly due to the compact nature of the chassis.
